It is a joint workshop between the USPEX group and the Physics department of the Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) aiming to train modern computational methods for discovering new materials and predicting material properties. The workshop program contains scientific lectures in the morning sessions and hands-on tutorials in the afternoons. The hands-on sessions are mainly devoted to USPEX, as a pioneering package for material design in the framework of evolutionary algorithms. The scientific lectures would cover the following subjects:

• DFT and electronic structure
• Machine learning and Data science
• Novel material properties
• Magnetic materials
• Evolutionary algorithm and global optimization
• Materials discovery and design
